... a visually stunning adaptation of Arthur Golden's best-selling novel. (Barry Caine, OAKLAND TRIBUNE) The director of Chicago, Rob Marshall, transports us into a mysterious and exotic world that casts a potent spell. A Cinderella story like no other, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA stars Ziyi Zhang, Ken Watanabe, Michelle Yeoh and Gong Li. "Gorgeously photographed, meticulously directed and hypnotically acted. MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA is luxurious, ethereal and intoxicating. It will leave you breathless." (Rex Reed, NEW YORK OBSERVER)

I know there's a lot of recognition for Michelle Yeoh's acting but Gong Li really took it home for me. As a non native English speaker, her range of anger from throwing a tantrum to beginning a quiet threat was so on point.

Congratulations for winning the Oscars, Michelle Yeoh!

You can see Pumpkin's hopes and dreams been smashed into pieces just like that in her face when Mother changed her mind of not adopting her because of Hatsumomo. She went nowhere with Hatsumomo's guidance.

Mrs Nitta never liked Hatsumomo. She was merely just a means to bring money and pay the bills. She’s a very shrewd business woman and this was probably the biggest boss move ever. Basically saying “F you hatsumomo. This is for years putting up with you.”

I always felt sorry for Hatsumomo, she was sold into slavery same as Siyuri .. can you blame her for being bitter and ugly, especially when a rival to her famed beauty ( all the currency she had) comes along? And Hatsumomo never had a Dana so her future was non existent. She’d be turned into the street the second she stopped being a profit to the house. We won’t even touch the psychological damage of never being allowed to be yourself, but a plastic doll designed solely for men’s pleasure

This is not a movie, its a masterpiece...!
Michelle Yeoh amazing as always...!

[victoryv]

It's one of the rare movie where all women characters are so well written and multi-layered . That I can relate with each one of them even they are bad...I cannot come to hate them

This scene is incredibly sad because EVERYBODY got played for all the wrong reasons

[frankinsaneandmyrrh]

all of the actresses gave fantastic and compelling performances. and this scene alone is incredible, great seeing them all in one room.

Good for Chiyo standing up for herself! Mameha took it too far by calling her worthless. Especially since Chiyo was telling her the truth that she didn't sell herself for a kimono. It's bad enough that Hatsumono treats her like shit. But for Mameha to accuse Chiyo is not really a necessary thing to do. Especially since she wasn't there to have seen what the Baron tried to do. Chiyo doesn't need this abuse.

The stars of this movie is not the main lead but Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh tbh. I remember every scenes they potrayed with elegency and power. The first appearance of Gong Li with that fire walk damnnn she just needs to exist !

I always liked how Mother had a weird 90 degree cigarette holder. Normally you think of a lady's cigarette holder as being elegant and glamorous but by giving her one with a bend in it it kind of made her look more conniving.

[starrobinson]

I love how hatsumomo story is very similar. Wanting to love a man knowing it’s forbidden. Koi chi. Was the one that got away. Heart breaking 💔

[bgc]

The face Pumpkin made when she ran crying 🥺

[NicoleKissBeauty]

But how much is 15k yen? You asked.
I got you.

The movie was set in 1929.
1 yen back then traded for 45cents. So 15k yen is approximately 6800 usd. And don’t forget back then 1 yen / 45 cents can buy you a pound of bacon or a dozen eggs.

If you calculate based on inflation, 6800usd in 1929 is worth 121, 980 usd today (2024).

Hatsumomo just standing there being a troll lol. She had it coming really.

[FayeLawnKrackd]

1:02 that look on mother's face while Hatsumomo talks smack about Sayuri. That literally says, "Quit talking like you're something, girl you don't even live up to her status now." She’s just tolerating Hatsumomo at this rate.

[lunamaria]

I'm Japanese and begged my parents to let me join Geisha school, after I seen this, at just 10 years old lol. I was already in ballet and other dance. It worked out perfect!

That’s the same face she gave in “raising the red lantern” and “farewell my concubine”…. She always seems to taste defeat after so much struggle. Most of it partly of her own making.
Gong Li is great in these roles.
